Actually, the greatest detachment is being close to everything and not letting it consume and own you. That’s real strength.

Sometimes we can trace our fears through the actions we take, and sometimes it’s the actions we’re reluctant to take

Cancers of the Mind: Comparing, Complaining, Criticizing.

We can’t stop our parents from dying, but we use the fear to remind us to spend more time with them.

Tracking my fear of exam results and the other branch fears that appeared led me to the root: fearing I couldn’t make my parents happy

Your dharma has to fill a need in the world

You don’t get to be a jerk just because you’re skilled.

Pay less attention to what you hear about someone, and more to what you learn about them as you make the effort.

I think, with production, I pay very close attention. ‘Cause that’s my favorite thing in music. That’s the whole drive. That’s the reason.

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who comes near that precious jewel. Unfortunately, nothing.

For a long time, I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you’re a kid.

I love attention. If I see a gang of girls? That makes me dance even more!

I don’t have a background in music, and I have a short attention span. If you put me in the studio every day, I’m gonna get lost.
